New York special.
George Francis Train sroke for the first
time in many years at Webster Hall Sun
day evening in favor of the condemned
Chicago anarchists. The proceeds of the
admission fees charged we're to 60 to the
support of the mems families. Mr.. Train
said his presence was due to the influence
of four brave women-SIrs. w. p. Black,
wife Of counsel Of the condemned anarch-
lists; Mrs. Parsons, the mulatto wife of one
of the convicts; Nina Van Zandt, the wife
by proxy of August Spies; and Mrs. Col.
Hinton. His speech was rambling and
somewhat incoherent. Referring TO the
killing of the policemen in Chicago, Mr..
Train said he would have fired all the
bombs he could" had he been there. Con-
tinuing, he said:
You have a right TO carry pistol, and II any
one is going to interfere with you blow his brains
out. All those in favor Of that say aye. Adopted
unanimously. The ayes have it and Herr Most
is elected. Any one who carries n pistol after
this Is an ass when you can carry a little bomb
with which you can kill sixteen out OF twenty
five policemen. All those in favor of carrying
bombs say aye. Adopted unanimously. To
morrow night shall lecture here IL l can get
the hall, and after Nov IL, il they hang those
men, shall destroy the Republic
This was said with leap in the air and
a landing on the platform that made 1t
culver. 1t was the climax in the speech.

nationalists.
Chicago special
The most important result of the recent
Socialist convention at Buffalo was the
amalgamation of the Internationalists and
Socialists. In fact, the So called congress
was held for the specific purpose of adopt
ing some plan of operation upon which
the two factions could unite. The Chicago
reds are jubilant over the result and pre-
diet that great work will he accomplished
in the next two years. A local Socialist
leader explains the situation as follows:
The Socialist Labor party is organized tor the
purpose OF bringing about Socialism, but by
different methods from those advocated by
Haskell and his followers. Our plan is educa-
tion and political action, both OF which have
until recently been sneered at by the revolu-
tionists childs play and milk-and-w water
policy They have changed their opinions OF
late, however, and are now about to join the
Socialist Labor party in a body and abandon
their former organization.

The great speciality of the bobtail

That is the reason it is frequently
called the Belt line. There is
also less restraint on a bobtail car

leaned him over the other way, with
his head against the shoulder of an

souri, Pacific Train Wreci<ers' Cases.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. ga sensa-
ton is caused here by the publication
to-day of a statement that Frank Whit
ney, prominent Knight of Labor, has
confessed that the train wrecks that fol-
lowed the collapse Of the great strike on
the Missouri Pacific Road in 1886, were
the result of a preconcerted action in
stigated and planned in a lodge-room of
the knights of Labor. It is also said
that warrants have been issued for the
arrest of number of members of the
order. on charges Of murder, train
wrecking, perjury and conspiracy.
These warrants are issued in connection
with the wreck at Wyandotte, Kas., on
April 26, 1885, when two men were
killed. Six Knights of Labor were ar
rested shortly after the affair occurred.
William Vossen, one Of the accused, first
made confession, and he was followed
some time ago by Fred Newport and
now by Whitney, whose statements are
similar to those of the others. George
H. Hamilton, the leader of the wreck
ers, is now on trial at WyandOtte.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Aug. 24.-The
Journals Winnipeg special of to-day
says another injunction against the Red
River Valley Railroad was moved for
to-day by a property owner near Morris.
The Montreal Gazette, government or
gan, to-day threatens trouble if Man
itoba refuses to obey orders of
the courts when issued. Mr.. Hamilton
said that he had been served with no
papers as yet, and the work would be
pushed as rapidly as possible. He
doubted if troops would be sent from
the East to enforce the orders Of the
courts. The matter was now purely
legal one. In Well-informed Canadian
quarters the report of Sir John Mac
donald's threat is discredited. Without
the help of regulars the federal govern
ment is practically powerless to enforce
its wishes. It has 1000 mounted
police in the Northwest Territory, but
they dare not bring any of them here
lest the Indians should rise. Besides
these there are about 100 members of q
mounted infantry school here who are
practically regulars. There are about
1920 volunteers in the province, but
should the worst come they will side
with the provincial government. Inthe
eastern provinces the government can
only depend upon A and B Batteries and
the infantry schools, aggregating per.
haps 1,500 men. There are 400 miles Of
wilderness between Manitoba and Lake
Superior, and handful of men could
stop an army entering the province by
that route. There are about 10000 able
bodied men in the province, and they
are all ready and willing to fight.

In reply to the referee, Mr.. Ives said he

The Chemical Composition of Man
From La Practicien.

From La iraCtlC1en.
From g. chemical point OF view, man
is composed of thirteen elements, of
which five are gases and eight are
solids. Ii we consider the chemical
composition of man of the average
weight of 154 pounds, we will find that
he is composed in large part of
oxygen, which is in g. state of extreme
compression. In fact, a man weighing
154 pounds contains 81 pounds of
oxygen, the volume of which, at ordi-
nary temperature, would exceed $50
cubic feet. The hydrogen is much less
In quantity, there being less than Is
pounds, but which, in q free state,
would occupy volume OF 1880 cubic
feet. The three other gases are nitro
gen, 4 pounds; chlorine about 26
ounces. and auorine, 81 ounces. OF
the solids, carbon stands at the head
of the meta]loids, there being 48

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 24.-Mrs. Wheeler
said to-day that while she did not as
sumo to be spokeswoman for the rela-
tives of Col Babcock, it was the general
belief among them that the shooting was
purely accidental, and if shown to be
snch it would be cruel to proceed against
Miss Dodge. 1.-The colonel was not the
man to hold his peace if he had been
murdered out of malice" Mrs. Wheeler
said; "but he knew he was sinking, and
rather than have the story half told
which might have borne too heavily
on Miss Dodge, he preferred to
die silently. We regret bitterly that he
did so, for we feel that while he was
probably at fault, still he doubtless could
have exonerated himself and Miss
Dodge by telling the whole story. 1t
stands to reason that if she shot
him she could not have
done it with intent to kill him;
for why, then, did she fasten the band
age around bis chest? He told DR.. Nc
Mann that he had fastened it there him
self, but that was impossible, both from
the nature of the fastenings and the
tightness of the bandage. She did ii

ROOFING OUT AN EVIL.
Georgia to Abolish the Convict Labor
Lease System.

Georgia to Abolish the Convict Labor
Lease System.
ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 26.-At last the ak
has fallen and the UBIQUITOUS convict lease
system of Georgia will have to 60. BY
executive order, signed under great ex-
element, Gov. Gordon has called on the
lessees of penitentiary companies and
3 to show cause why the lease should not
be annulled. These companies are
principally formed of James w. Eng
lish, VIM. B. Lowe and James W. Smith.
Several days ago the Governor re-
ceiyed an ANONYMOUS letter signed
"Convicts' which declared that the con-
victs were being whipped because they
made known the existing abuses and
asked that the matter be investigated.
From the postmark it was ascertalned
that the letter came from the camp
under charge of c.. c.. Bingham, on the
Georgia Midland Road. Principal Keep
,er Towers at once proceeded there, had
the men called up in lines and stripped of
clothing. The backs of four men were
found to be cut and bruised IN Il terrible
manner as though knives had been used
to open the flesh. Gov. Gordon read
the report with indignation and at once
signed an order dismissing Bingham
from any service in which the state was
interested and ordering the solicitor
general to prosecute him for his crimes.
Active steps are being taken to protect
the convicts from the rage ofthe lessees,
and it is said that Principal Keeper
Towers took personal charge of camp
No. 2.
The suppressed report of Prison Ply
stefan Westmoreland, which was made
to Gov. Mcdaniel in 1883, and which the
governor would not allow to be made
public, has been given to the press. 1t
is shocking recital of filth and crime
and will help swell the demand for the
abolition OF the lease system. There is
no doubt as to the governors intention
to declare the lease annulled owing to
the violation of its provision by the
lessees. The lessees are moving heaven
and earth to-day to avert the blow
which is falling upon them, but the Gov
ernor IS determined in his course,
backed by the public opinion of the
state and Endorsed by the personal as
surances of members of the legislature.
The Dade coal mine camp which belongs
to company No. l, owned by Gov.
Brown, is not complained of, but it will
have to share in the wreck.

gled goods. The eXtradition Of Resen-
dez as a smuggler is asked for, but as
smuggling is not one of the offenses in
dictated in the extradition treaty be-
tween the United States and the Next

such request will not meet with favor

The drouth has made the waters very

which has several times previously
followed this state of affairs, and which
is supposed to be result of minerals in
the water, has broken out. In the Dead
Horse Cave neighborhood, there are
over 100 cases, with 80 deaths. Not a
family has escaped. Crops are neglected,
and farm work is at standstill, it re-
curing the entire time of every individ-
ual able to labor to care for the sick and

have died in Mcdowell County alone in
the last four weeks from the disease.
